Although parent-adolescent and peer-adolescent relationship quality are critical for adolescent wellbeing during typical stressful life events, the unique features of the COVID-19 pandemic put into question whether strong parent-adolescent and peer-adolescent relationship quality functioned as protective factors of adolescent mental health in this context. The current longitudinal study examined a community sample of adolescents across 3 time points, each 6 months apart (Time 1: Fall, 2019; = 163, 50.9% male; mean age = 15.

Methods: Glucose concentration was analysed in vitreous samples from 137 non-diabetic patients undergoing vitrectomy for either primary macula-off RD (n = 73) or epiretinal membrane (ERM; n = 64).
Background: Three-dimensional (3D) visualization systems, also known as heads-up systems, are now available for eye surgery and as with every new device there is need for a specific evaluation.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency, surgical comfort, and safety of a 3D visualization system to a standard binocular microscope (BM) in routine ophthalmologic procedures.
Method: After a 4-week training period, a 3D visualization system (Ngenuity, Alcon®) available in one of the Robert Debré Hospital Ophthalmology Departments' operating rooms was compared to a standard BM (OPMI LUMIRA 700, Zeiss®), in the process of a call for new device evaluation.
Purpose: To compare the effect of intravitreal injections of air with gas on vitreomacular traction (VMT) release and attempt to analyze predictive factors for success.
Methods: The medical records of patients with symptomatic VMT undergoing intravitreal injections (0.3 mL) of either octafluoropropane (C3F8) or air were retrospectively reviewed.
Purpose: To evaluate the benefit of the Holladay 2 formula versus the 3rd generation formulae in calculating the IOL power in eyes with non-standard axial length or keratometry before cataract surgery.
Patients: Retrospectiv study from January to December 2015. The inclusion critaeria were axial length (AL) <22mm or >26mm, or average keratometry <42 D or >46 D, dividing the patients in 4 groups respectively.
